Best Answer

You can't be in it for the money. That's the first thing you should know. Don't get in the business of raising cattle if you're not going to enjoy or love it. Raising cattle, nowadays, is getting to be more of a hobby than a business, but really, in order for it to be a successful business you have to make it into a hobby.

The second thing is that you have to know what you're doing, how to do it and when. You gotta have enough land, feed, and water to raise them. Knowledge in bovine behaviour and basics in bovine reproductive and ruminant digestive physiology will also help. Patience and a willingness to work hard is also something you should have if you want to raise cattle. And money: especially for start-up costs.

Knowledge, patience, money, time, dedication, persistence, and a love for doing it. Basically you need to have to love to raise the dirty beggars because you won't be making much money from them.
